Bearclaw Valley miserere mei, deus

The beardog took the healer's words well, which satisfied Arielle. The fact that she was willing to prove herself to them and the bear before answering the call of heat ,even if meant she could not bear children this season was very telling. The bruin-jaw saw that as the first step in her path to the bear.

She smiled and dipped her head. I can help you learn, she offered. Can I take you somewhere? She wanted to show her the altar she had been working on; maybe she could learn more about the other woman. The altar proved to enlighten her any time she paused to tune in and listen.

She would wait for the woman to follow, and then she would lead her to the altar. She would tell her more of the bear and of her duty to the spirit.
